hi guys im sure this has been asked and im utilizing the search function as we speak. i have an ar 223 with an eotech 552 mounted on to it with gg&g flip up sights installed. my question is which non eotech magnifier can be used thats pretty good . i realize you get what you pay for and may endd up geting the eotech magnifier . im just wondering if there is an option a few hundred less. more money for ammo lol.

Check out primary arms. They have a good reputation around here. Their deluxe 3x magnifier is pretty similar to the eotech and aimpoint. Another cheaper option is the vortex magnifier. Optics planet has been posting good things about it.

Have a Vortex VMX3 with my 551 very pleased got it from OP. It's also available at Primary arms. Have bought from PA as well - also a good place.

Tag - I'm looking at the Eotech/magnifier from PA.  Seems like a decent combo for just a bit more money, but I'd like to hear about quality of their knock-off magnifiers too.

Yep, primary arms is most likely your best bang for the buck.

ok so directly from pa would be the best bet ? also which mount would line up the best with the 512  and pop up sights from gg&g?

Bought the PA deluxe 3x a few weeks ago. Have put some shots down range with it. I am not a scope guy so take my opinion for what it is. I have the 3x mounted up to my XPS2 and the glass is very clear. It does seem to be pretty rugged as well. For the 99 i'd buy another one no second thoughts about it. -Pat
